HEALTH CARE REFORM BRINGS COVERAGE TO 2.5 MILLION MORE YOUNG PEOPLE

Since President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law last year, some 2.5 million more young people have health insurance than before the law took effect, according to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).

Under the health reform law, children can remain on their parents’ health insurance plans until they turn 26, and families have flocked to sign up young adults.
